About Us

The award-winning CalArts Community Arts Partnership, a
co-curricular program of the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), offers
free, after-school and school-based arts programs for youth ages 6-18 in every
discipline taught at CalArts. Programs are offered at public schools, community
centers and social service agencies, covering a thousand square mile radius
across Los Angeles County. With classes led by a teaching corps of accomplished
CalArts faculty, alumni and student instructors, CAP participants learn to
create original works of art and to experiment with prevailing conventions of
artistic expression. CAP’s success has served as a model for other arts
education organizations locally and nationally, and the program has received
numerous honors, including The President’s Committee on Arts and Humanities’
National Youth Program Award, which recognizes exemplary programs that foster
the creative and intellectual development of America’s children.
